she actually mentioned that early on, that she was having trouble remembering to call her Hera. I suspect that was intentional on the part of the author, but not intentional on Nanalie's part.

Terabyte

@pcj Yeah, but while Nanalie says she's "having trouble remembering" she's basically always calling her Nikeh all time around. Rather than having trouble, she doesn't remember at all...
